These electromagnetic waves are conducted to the inside of the oven cavity by means of wave-guide and spread by a mode stirrer or by a turntable. Inside the oven the microwaves spread out in all directions and are reflected by the metallic walls, penetrating the food evenly. Why does the food heat up? Most food contains water, whose molecules vibrate with microwaves. The friction between the molecules generates heat, which causes a temperature rise in the food, defrosting it, cooking it or keeping it warm. As the heat is formed inside the food: - It may be cooked with little or no liquid or fat; - Defrosting, heating or cooking in the microwave oven is quicker than in a conventional oven; - Vitamins, minerals and nutritive substances are preserved; - There is no change in the natural food colour and aroma. 7 The microwaves travel through porcelain, glass, cardboard or plastic but not through metal. Therefore, recipients made of or containing metal should not be used in the microwave oven. The microwaves are reflected by the metal They travel through glass, porcelain. . . They are absorbed by the food. 8 Operating Instruction See picture in enclosed leaflet and do as follows: 1. Plug the microwave oven into a suitable outlet (see installation instructions). Open the door by pressing the Door Open Button (7). In models without this button, you need only pull the door. Place food in a dish on the tray or on the grill rack. The cooking time may be shortened and the liquids preserved (the food doesn't dry out) by covering the food. The lids should be transparent to allow the microwaves through and they should have a small opening for the vapour to escape. 13 Functioning of the grill For best results of the grill, use the grill rack supplied with the appliance. Do not place the grill rack in contact with the cavity's metal surface as there may be an electric arc and consequent damages. While the grill is being used for the first time, the producting of fumes and odours id normal, due to the oils used in the manufacturing process. If this is the case they should not be used in the microwave as they may be damaged. Recipients with silver and gold glazes may go dark. Plastic Plastic dishes should be heat resistant (at least 180 C) or they may be deformed when used in the microwave. Melamine dishes are not suitable for use in the microwave as they heat up too much. To cook or heat food in plastic bags, they should be perforated to allow vapour to escape thus preventing the bag from bursting. Wood Wooden recipients should not be used in the microwave. Wood contains water which evaporates and may cause the recipient to crack. 15 Recipient Test If in doubt about the use of glass, glazed ceramic or porcelain dishes in the microwave oven, do the following test: 1. Place the empty dish and a glass of water inside the microwave oven; 2. Set the Power Level Selector at maximum power; 4.

FME | 18EX WARNING!During the functioning of the microwave oven, the frame and the door may reach temperatures which require care when using the appliance. Lors du fonctionnement du four microondes, le cadre et la porte peuvent atteindre des tempratures leves qui ncessitent de prendre desprcautions pendant son utilisation. Durante o funcionamento do forno microondas, o aro e a porta podem alcanar temperaturas elevadas pelo que se aconselha precauo durante a sua utilizao. [. . . ]
